Abstract:
Intuition and rationality are two distinct characteristics
of human thought that create a way of
perceiving the world around us. While at times these
ideologies may seem at odds with each other, there
are occurrences where the concepts of both intersect.
Throughout human history these two ideologies
have contributed to the advancement of society both
on a personal and on a large scale level. In present
day, however, we no longer have a clear distinction
between the two seemingly opposing concepts. We
find that a large portion of society simultaneously accepts
both rational scientific theories, while practicing
an intuitive religious belief. Architecture can combine
both rationality and intuition in order to create a spiritual
space that respects both characteristics of human
understanding.
